We are running a confidential partner search. The brief is revisited each cycle with the client, and the description below is the current version.

Our client, a leading international full-service law firm, is pursuing opportunistic partner-level hiring across its core practice areas in the locations where it already operates. The firm is neither bank-heavy nor US-focused, with a balanced mix of disputes and transactional/advisory work. It values profitability, including efficient delivery of lower-value work through technology and paralegal leverage, and is open to exceptional candidates with complementary books of business.

Partner-level experience in one or more core practice areas: corporate, finance, IP/technology/data, real estate/projects, construction, maritime/trade/offshore, or commercial disputes (including aviation or construction litigation).
Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Proven track record of business development and client relationships, ideally in complementary or adjacent areas to the firm's existing strengths.
For Paris: ability to build on the work of senior partners nearing retirement (three to five years) and carry forward a succession plan.
Not suitable for candidates with heavily bank-led relationships.
